WOW!!! this is so werid i googled my self Jessica Bailey and it came up as this!!! i guess now im just going to have to see this movie!!!! where can u get this thingy at??? is a gurl inm the movie named jessica bailey?? im so confused??? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

This film showed the way in which many of my friends live their lives.Drugs, underage sex and skateboards are part of everyday life for them and the film showed the peak of reality. Im only 13 but i think that the film showed raw real life and many people think that young teenagers dont live like that but they do and this film hits the truth head on. Its now my favourite film.

KIDS is gritty, honest and well-made. It will probably disturb many people,(due to it' s unflinching portrayl of teen sex,drug use and violence) but I am 14 years old, and I can tell you, I am not like any of the kids in the movie, but I have experienced some of these things firsthand. Leo Fitzpatrick is an unpolished diamond in a batch of talentless teen actors, and in KIDS, he gives his best performance yet. Not as good as Bully, but definitley worth a watch.

A lot of movies have no story line or state many o any facts but sell (TITANIC). I think the movie had to tell even more it is to the dismay of all you snobs life in the big ghetto any city usa. So tell me who out there in this big stage of life has a plot in their life? No answer to this question. You wil be lying to yourself again.

Yes to some the movie maybe disturbing, but out of all the teen movies, this one is much more realistic. I am 17 years old and have seen such things (in the movie) happen before in my very own life. I am not a drug abuser nor do I engage in pre-marital sex, but sadly the events in the movie are real. People are disturbed by this movie because we'd rather believe that kids are having slumber parties and hanging out at the mall. But here's a thought do you honestly know where your kids are right now, this minute? I rated this movie 3 stars because I watch plenty of movies; anything from Shrek to Eyes Wide Shut, so to me this was just another movie, a matter of fact I am online right trying to find the movie for a friend. For those who are disgusted with this movie, if it makes you feel any better, in my town, the movie is impossible to find, blockbuster doesn't even carry it.

Okay well this was the best movie, like ya sure it was educational watever... but just as a movie it was good and real, no matter wat any of these people say. Okay and 'Budog' or watever your name was i no you won't even see this cuz you came here in like '99 but still, uh.. i think that your the loser saying that getting aids was good for the kids in the movie?? and if in your neighborhood kids that get drunk and have parties are considered lowlife punks... well wat kinda neighborhood are you from???? okay well im not supposed to "harrass other users" so okay im just saying that its kinda stupid saying that the kids in the movies should jump off a cliff.. because their parents dont care about them. but thats your opinion so okay watever. but anyways i loved this movie it was so good why did everybody hate it so much did you think it was just too gross well guess wat thats what happens in real life so get used to it... sorry but , its true. Anybody that says this movie was unrealistic and over-exaggerated, obviously don't get out too much, or are too old to be watching this movie anyway. because guys like Telly aren't at all rare, its called a PLAYER not a weird word, and aids is a real problem the movie didn't really invent it. and there are such things as rape, parties, raves, alcohol, drugs, and all the other issues in this movie; so no, this movie wasn't unrealistic or over-the-edge or watever else you all said. so if you havent seen this movie well you probably wouldnt be reading this then , but anyways get this movie if your 13-19 and isnt scared to know whats really going on in the world. [i would give this more stars if i could]

i don`t like it is is stupid bye i hope u write me back bb :)~

Kids is possibly one of the greatest movies ever made. The cinemetography, ad-lib acting and satirical comedy are just a few of its awe-inspiring assets. Its one of those things that takes ugly ugly subject matter and turns it into a thing of immense beauty. chloe sevigny is stunning and obvoiusly extremely talented. thats all, its awesome.

THIS MOVIE IS CRAP! ONLY A RETARD WOULD LET THIS OUT TO THE PUBLIC!

it was real and true to life. all kids should see this.

I've only just discovered the film KIDS and I would just like to say to all of the shocked adults, Wake up people. Life is similar for a majority of teenagers as it was potrayed in this film. My friends smoke weed and throw parties and we get drunk......So what! Except we dont have aids, anyways, I just like to say it is a top film and should be more popular than it is. Later people.

I am from Ireland and I htought ti was about time somene showed the reall side to America instead of all the bullshit crwap they trie to make us belive is true, we all knw this is what the reall world is about, if you would like to discuss this contact me. peace out yall

This is what youth is about, and its about time someone showed it to adults. I do not live in US but this kind of behaviour is constant throughout the world. When Casper and Telly go to Pauls house at the beginning, the behaviour they display is common where any young males congregate and their sexist attitudes and deploring women as objects ( " You gotta be smooth and romantic, like you give a f**k or something " ) are just the guttermouth that all youth have. By the way, can anybody tell me who that guy is that wakes up at pauls house and starts to ramble about AIDS being a myth? He is wearing a grey t shirt. I know his name is Billy Waldman and he used to skate for World Industries about six years ago.

correction, they kill a man that attacks casper. not a gay guy, next time watch more carefully if your going to write a review

I feel that the movie kids is a masterpiece. It realisticly depicts the everyday lives of many teens in America. You do not have to go to a big city to find this kind of behavior, a lot of it is housed in suburban like settings, maybe even in your home. Watching the movie for the first time was eary, from the drug use to the way they talked, these kids reminded me too much of my own friends. To call these kids losers is an unfair judgement. They are simply growing up in a time that is way too harsh, and they are trying to live through it. the documentary like affect is what give this movie substance, makes it mean something. These actors could easily be your best friend, your boyfriend. I would recomend every teenager, every parent, every grandparent sees this movie and realizes it is a rough world out there. "Kids" is the wakeup call that America needed.

Great movie! It's about time they realize whats really going on. Big ups to Rune Glifberg for great performance.

This was the most shocking film I've ever seen. I believe it contains elements of truth and represents VIVIDLY a definite moral and cultural trend developing amoung todays teenagers. Its intended message seemed clouded and I am left wondering what the director meant to convey? Certainly razor sharp..-but in no direction.

in the movie KIDS by layyr clark they dont beat up and nearly kill a boy who is gay they beat up a black kid who casper hit into w/ his skateboard and he wanted to fight thats why they beat him to near death. by a loyal fan of kids

'KIDS' speaks to me like no other movie. My friends and i all agree that it portrays skater kids perfectly. Casper and Telly are like real kids that i know. KIDS is real.

kids was absolutely the most disterbing movie i have ever seen. the movie is about the real life of teenage punks. although disterbing it was the best movie i have ever seen and potrays a message of sex in the teen population.

I thought this movie was really good, because I'm a teenager my-self and I know that that kind of stuff goes on. Maybe its not as bad as the movie showed it, but it still bothers me.

Although one will quickly admit that kids is not true to life, and is clearly being audacious to play it's self off as some socio-ethic concerned drama I still believe that it is still deserving of 4 stars. It's vulgar, but then there is an artform to vulgarity. Further the positions these children are in do reflect true life to an extent, and i have been in similair situations myself. . . I do so love my high school drinking parties. . . and seing the movie i believe may have positive effect upon my brethen youth. so in short, it seems to have been a good movie.

These "kids" are a bunch of low life punks who wouldn't last 5 seconds in my neighorhood. Growing up, most kids would not take advantage of a drunk(or drugged) out girl. We would take care of her, to ensure her safty. Not these kids. Raping little girls of 12 to 15 yrs. old, drugs, alcohol, ganging up on one guy in a fight,stealing.No morals, no honor, no guts,no pride in themselves. What a bunch of losers. AIDS is the best thing to happen to them(I know that is horrible).What can these "kids" give to society? Only crime, children pregant,innocent people being hurt,robbed,raped or killed.Living off the tax payings. The parents of kids like these are problem. So worried about their own lives, not caring about their children. Just keep them out of their hair so the parents can do their"thing". My advice to "kids" like these in this movie" jump in the river, you are not wanted or needed"

Kids was a great movie, it lets teens know about the consequences of drinking, drugs and unprotected sex in an entertaining and realistic way. Most teens are drinking, doing drugs and having sex so why not deal with these issues in a way they can relate to? John

I think that Kida was a wake up call to the teen community. It tells it how it is weather you like it or not.

Though the movie and the "truth" it tells is highly exaggerated, the movie is a wake up call. There are kids on the streets (and in the plazas of "nice" suburban neighborhoods)whose main concern is getting stoned, laid drunk and drugged. That does not mean however that the entire population of teenagers are like this which I believe the movie states. But besides the complete exaggerations the movie has, it's just a harmless flim about some stupid urban kids who are just having what they conider a good time despite the possible consquences. After all, teenagers think they're invisible (which if the movie has any point that should be it) so why is everyone making such a fuss?

This film is awful. It's not a "wake-up call", it's exploitation. The film goes nowhere. A group of low-life teens with nothing better to do roam the city. There's only a shred of a story-line behind it. The ending is ridiculous. Casper's final scene with Jennie goes on too long. It would be much more powerful if only a few seconds was shown, then cut to the credits. After an excruciatingly long time watching Casper and Jennie, a random montage of city scenes is shown. Why? There's not a single line of naration throughout the whole film, but suddenly, at the end, we hear Telly announcing that this is all he has. The closing naration is completely inconsistant with the rest of the film. It's also unnecessary. The audience doesn't need to be hand-fed the moral of the story, however, that is consistant with the rest of the film which lacks any sort of subtlety. In the film's defense, the acting is wonderful. I have to say that it was a wonderful idea to pick a group of such strong unknown actors, even if their characters aren't developed enough throughout the film. If you want to see this film done right, rent La Haine (Hate) by Mathieu Kassovitz. It does a much better job of telling the story of a hopeless youth.

I believe this movie is very educational. No one believes they will ever get AIDS. This movie points out to its viewers that it only takes having sex with one person to contract a disease. Girls as young as 13 and below are being exposed to AIDS in this movie and in real life. Parents need to educate their kids at a very early age. AIDS is very real and society needs to shelter kids less and inform them of the dangers in the world.

Although I think that this movie contains alot of sex, drugs, and teen porn, I have to give it 4 stars. This movie shows what society is really like and shows it in all of its reality. Parents have to understand that in the real world not every KID says no to drugs or sex. Its a way of life and instead of pushing KIDS to say NO then they should be pushing them to stay safe. I mean no parent wants there kids to have sex at 14-15 years old or be exposed to drugs at such a young age but the truth is that they can't stop it. If they can't stop it then they should help it. Let your kids know that no matter what you are there for them and will be there if they need to talk about anything. Teach them about HIV and condoms. Let them know what side effects drugs can have and that sharing needles can kill them. I'm not saying that drugs and sex are good at all. All I'm saying is that this movie shows us what is REALLY out there and it doesn't try to cover up what lives we really live. It's real and it's the story of some people's lives. It should be watched by parents and children not as entertainment but as an educational film.
